Rose met the lady at the door and they went in, discussing terms. "My name is Rose," she introduced herself.
"My name is Hester. The job is minimum wage.
Rose was surprised at how busy the store was. . Rose worked fast, helped customers and was extremely polite. Hester was impressed.
About three in the afternoon several large vans stopped in front of the store and they were packed full of people. Most of these people smelled of sweat and dirt and spoke Spanish. Rose was amazed at how many people came into the store. They bought so much stuff, She felt there would be nothing left. As fast as they came, they left. When the vans pulled away and no one was left in the store. Rose looked at Hester from across the room and said "What was that?"
Hester smiled and said "that's why I need your help,
Rose heard an old truck park in front of the store and she looked out the large store windows. A guy stepped out of a truck. He looked like something out of a seventies, cowboy movie. Rose couldn't keep her eyes off him.
He had on dusty cowboy boots that saw better days. And faded blue jeans full of dirt, that fit him perfectly.
A big belt buckle, that he might have won from a roping contest. That divided his muscular upper body from his blue jeans.
His dirty white tank top clinged to his muscular v back that ended with a slender waist. This tank top accented a broad shouldered, sun kissed, tan body.
All Rose could do was stare. The scene of this cowboy was captivating to her. He turned something in her. Something she had never felt before. Something she definitely liked. Something she definitely wanted.
The cowboy entered the store. He gave Hester a kiss on the cheek and said "what's the damage Aunt?" After paying Hester, he almost left with no interest in looking around.
When the cowboy entered the store Rose started cleaning hiding in the back amongst the shelves. Thinking he looked familiar. . . . Thinking this guy is hot. . . . Thinking I need to leave. This is not good.
But before the guy left the store, Hester said "I hired a girl. Would you like to meet her?" not giving Troy time to answer Hester called her "Rose come out, meet my nephew"
When Troy saw Rose, he was surprised. And hesitated as he thought. It was her, he had often wondered if she was ok. Or if she was the jogger. Aunt Hester would definitely take care of her. And this girl is gorgeous. Troy walked over to where she was, thrusted out his hand for a hand shake and said "You clean up good" Rose, just looked at him with confusion and shook his hand. She said nothing.
Troy was embarrassed. He quickly said "Bye Rose, Bye Aunt" and left the store. He got in his truck and started down the road. Troy said to himself. "What were you saying? She must think you're a stalker. Or maybe you have something mentally wrong with you. What has gotten into you? You clean up good. What was that? What an idiot." But those lips. So luscious. And those eyes. So beautiful. She is so pretty.
After that, Troy looked for her, everyday he went into the store. He was definitely attracted to her.
Troy thought about Rose and decided he would ask her out. It was worth a shot, Right?
The next day while Rose was working. Troy just walked right up to her and said "Do you think. . .?" A lady walked up to ask Rose a question and she started to help the lady. Troy did not leave. He just stood there waiting. He was determined.
After Rose was done talking to the lady, she walked up to Troy slowly. Looked at him with frim eyes. And before he could say anything Rose simply said "you don't want me." Rose then turned around and hid in the bathroom.
